WASHINGTON, D. @. Jan. 3.-In tho

the Senste will adjourn as mark Of re-
spect 10 his memory. On Wednesday at
Q o'clock, probably earlier, Mr.. Cullom

the meaaure will be taken up aud will
form the chief topic Of d!scugsion there.

The unfinished business Of the Senate is
the bill providing for tho establishment
OF agricultural experiment stations, while

improbable that theee measures, espec.

and ons or both may thus be dispousd OF
during the week.
1t is not expected that any appropria.

u is expected that the legislative week
in the Houae will be consumed by the
discussion OF appropriation bills aud the
measure reported from the COMMITTEES on
Agriculture providing for the erection O.
q Department OF Agriculture and Labor.
There arc now four appropriation bills
upou the calendar, tho Iudian, Military
Academy, Diplomatic and Consular aud
Pension. None OF these measures Is
likely to give riss to extended debate ex.
cent possibly the Diplomatic and Consular
bill. Owing TO its radical change, as com.
pared with former bilis, and lis increased
appropriations, this measure msy become
an object OF attscs. @il, 1.il'
Nearly all the measures which have
been made special orders ara likely to be
pressed Tor actou at the first opportunity
that may offer when the House Is nos en-
gagged In tho consideration Of nppropria-

creation OF tho Department OF Agriculture

includes the Dunn ircs ship bill; the ps-
